  Dude, that is NOT enough food.  And hot dogs?  Really?
  
  Your best bet at this point, OP, is to cut out as many processed foods as you can.  Eat whole foods--lots of fruits and veggies (fresh is best, but frozen is good too), lean proteins (chicken, turkey, lean cuts of beef or lean ground beef), healthy fats (olive oil, nuts, peanut butter, avocado), whole grains.  Make sure you're eating ENOUGH but not TOO MUCH (track on a site like myfitnesspal, sparkpeople, etc).
  
  Adding in some high intensity intervals into your workouts, and some weight training is usually a good idea too (unless you have injuries or something where you shouldn't--talk to your doctor if you're unsure).   Just make sure you're eating enough to support your activity level.

  J&K is dead right on this one.  If I ate what BabyPanda suggested I would be literally starving and undereating can lead to weight loss stall-out.

  While Panda I think is well-intentioned, that probably isn't a very good diet for long-term weight loss.    I was working with someone on my diet and was advised to try to cut out processed foods like JK mentioned- things like carbs and refined sugars - so think breads, fried foods, crackers, snack foods like gold fish or cheez its.  It was unbelievably hard for me.  And truthfully, I still cheat from time to time.
  
  Also, I was told to up my protein consumption - more meats like chicken, ground turkey and extra lean beef or pork.  Also  lots of veggies. 
  
  The program is for my specific body nad problems, but I know I have a slow natural metabolism and needed to follow this "diet" for awhile to help kick-start some weight loss.  After a couple weeks of being "on the wagon"  it is much easier and I am losing weight.  I also crave carbs and sweets less when I havent been eating them.  Now that I have been eating better for awhile, I also dont feel guilty when I eat a sandwich instead of a lettuce wrap - I just dont do it all the time.
  
  I pair better eating with two weekly sessions at the gym lifting and aim for 2-3 cardio sessions a week - some weeks I only get one, sometimes I get four - life happens, ya know?  I try to stage my meals so that I eat twice as many grams of protien as (natural ) carbs every day.  If you are being extra strict, aim to consume natural sugars by the midpont of your day too.
  
  A typical day for me would be somewhere around 1200 calories and include oats and walnuts and berries for breakfast (very filling  - lots of good natural fiber to keep you full), 1-2 lean chicken breasts for lunch with some left over veggies as a side and maybe some almonds as a snack later.  Dinner is more lean meat - maybe a pork chop or two with veggies and maybe a leafy salad with little or no cheese, a vinigrette and maybe some candied nuts.
  
  Hope this helps!

  cvb, you mention your diet is specific for your body and problems.  I just want to reiterate that.  I don't know if you're working with your doctor or what, but 1200 calories is not enough for most women that are also working out.  So for you, it might be good, but it's not a good number to recommend to others.  I would starve just as much eating what you eat in a day as I would eating what Panda eats.
